Medication adherence is the subject of a new InnovationRx program launched in California
Pharmacists can help patients stay well by encouraging their compliance in use of prescribed medications. InnovationRx and other groups have launched a pilot program supporting their efforts.
Key Points
InnovationRx has started a medication adherence awareness program that targets California pharmacists and patients. The program is designed to provide pharmacists with the resources needed to help ensure medication adherence. It's a collaboration between InnovationRx, the American Pharmacists Association, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Women's Health, and the Pharmacists Planning Service, Inc.
